• Rob Moseley continues his positional reviews before spring practice with a look at special teams. Rob notes that punter Jackson Rice will be the punter (a given) but wonders about the wild cards.

The big question here is the status of kicker Rob Beard, who battled quad problems all of last season, surrendering the placekicking job to Alejandro Maldonado. Beard did return late in the season to assume kickoff duties. Beard has the bigger leg of the two, and more experience, so the assumption is that if he's healthy Beard will take over all placekicking duties again.
